Lyrics

    Hey
    There’s no rules today
    You steal instead of borrow
    You take all the shapes that I make
    And you think
    That you thought
    All the thoughts 
    That I thought you
    Don’t you?
    
    Mutilation is the most
    Sincere form of flattery
    If you want to be me
    Then stand in line like the rest
    Now, do you know what I mean?
    
    The young get less bolder
    The legends get older
    But I stay the same
    As long as you have less to say
    Do you think that I wouldn’t say this?
    You know that I play this better than you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    And 
    Fuck you too
    Do you think that I wouldn’t say this?
    You know that I play this better than you
    
    Rebels without applause
    I sell my shadow to those
    Who are standing in it
    They think that I would
    Bitch about them
    Thinking they are
    The shit
    When they can’t 
    Even step
    In it
    
    The young get less bolder
    The legends get older
    But I stay the same
    As long as you have less to say
    Do you think that I wouldn’t say this?
    You know that I play this better than you
    
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    And 
    Fuck you too
    The young get less bolder
    The legends get older
    But I stay the same
    As long as you have less to say
    Do you think that I wouldn’t say this?
    You know that I play this better than you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    Fuck you
    And 
    Fuck you too
    Do you think that I wouldn’t say this?
    You know that I play this better than you
